“Cookies and cream has always been a beloved flavour we have been wanting to add to our cake roster. However, we also wanted to take the opportunity to introduce a different take on this flavour, catering to those who prefer a more bittersweet taste. It was a fun exploration to create “contrasting personalities” of this beloved flavour, from the creamy and delicate Cookies & Cream to the deeper and more sophisticated Dark Cookies & Cream,” said Ryan Chung, Marketing Manager at Secret Recipe.

The Cookies & Cream Cake delivers a creamy, white-glazed delight layered with black cocoa sponge, vanilla custard cream, cookies and cheese cream with milk chocolate soft cookies and topped with rich black cookie crumbs for that familiar crunch and comfort. The cake’s 4.5-inch size is ideal for smaller celebrations of 4-5 pax, making it a delightful choice for intimate gatherings. It’s priced at RM81 for a whole cake across outlets in Peninsular Malaysia and RM 76.40 for a whole cake in Langkawi.

For fans who crave a richer and deeper flavour profile, the Dark Cookies & Cream Cake features an intense chocolate coating layered with soft dacquoise sponge, cocoa sponge and cookie crumble, bringing together deep dark cocoa notes for a more indulgent bite. The 6-inch cake is suitable for celebrations of 6-8 pax, perfect for sharing with bigger groups of families and friends. It’s priced at RM14.20 per slice or RM105 for a whole cake in Peninsular Malaysia, and RM13.40 per slice or RM99.05 for a whole cake in Langkawi.

“The Whisper Man” Review: Robert De Niro & Michael Keaton Elevate Netflix’s Familiar Thrill Of A Tune

There’s something about a good crime thriller that never really goes out of style. It’s the promise of a puzzle laid out piece by piece, a detective one step behind and one step ahead at the same time, the quiet dread of knowing the answer was hiding in plain sight the whole time. Sure, it’s a formula as old as the genre itself, and when it’s done right, it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve seen the pieces before. “The Whisper Man” plays with that and mostly earns the trust it’s asking for.

It’s a serial-killer thriller with more patience and craft than its Netflix-algorithm packaging lets on, the kind of movie that would have owned a Blockbuster shelf in 1998 and, three decades later, still knows exactly how to hold a room.

Source: Netflix | Adam Scott, Michelle Monaghan and Robert de Niro in “The Whisper Man”

Adapted from Alex North’s novel (North being the pen name of British crime writer Steve Mosby, for anyone keeping score at home), the film opens with Detective Amanda Beck (Michelle Monaghan) combing small-town New Jersey for a missing boy. No trace of the kid turns up, but a body does, bearing an unsettling resemblance to a string of killings from 25 years back, committed by a predator the town christened the Whisper Man for his habit of coaxing children through their windows at night with a singsong rhyme that has apparently never lost its grip on local folklore. Every town has a ghost story it tells kids to keep them inside after dark. This one just happens to be true.

Into this cheerful setting arrives Tom Kennedy (Adam Scott), a widowed crime novelist who relocates with his eight-year-old son Jake (Acston Luca Porto), hoping a change of scenery will help the kid process losing his mum. Reader, it does not. Jake starts talking to someone who isn’t there, slips out into the night unprompted, and vanishes- the film’s tidy way of confirming the vibes were doomed from the moving truck.

The Whisper Man himself, Frank Carter, has been locked away for decades and isn’t going anywhere, but whoever’s taken Jake is running his exact playbook, rhyme included. So Beck needs the one man Carter will actually speak to: retired detective Pete Willis (Robert De Niro), the cop who caught him the first time around. Pete, it turns out, is also Tom’s estranged father, and has never once laid eyes on his own grandson. Somebody call a family therapist. Actually, call a cop first. The therapy can happen after the kid’s found.

Source: Netflix | Michelle Monaghan in “The Whisper Man”

De Niro doesn’t need this movie, and that’s precisely what makes him good in it. There’s no visible strain, just weary paternalism worn like an old coat, a man who’s spent decades circling the one case he never fully closed and never quite forgave himself for. It’s not a career-defining turn, but it’s a good, lived-in one, and the scenes where Pete tries to bridge the gap with a son who wants nothing to do with him cut deeper than the actual thriller plot unfolding around them.

Michael Keaton, meanwhile, drops in as Carter for a handful of scenes and quietly walks off with every single one. He’s never allowed to go full theatrical serial killer; Netflix keeps him on a short leash, but there’s a coiled menace behind those wire-rimmed glasses that pulls you forward in your seat every time he’s on screen, like watching a snake that hasn’t decided whether it’s hungry yet. We wanted more of him, which is usually proof a supporting actor did exactly what he was hired to do.

Director James Ashcroft, coming off the Sundance darling “Coming Home in the Dark” and the more divisive “The Rule of Jenny Pen,” keeps the pace brisk. The dread simmering rather than boiling over too early. At the same time, cinematographer Peter Deming (yes, the “Mulholland Drive” and “Twin Peaks: The Return” Deming) soaks the whole thing in a damp, teal-and-brown gloom that makes small-town New Jersey look perpetually one storm cloud from disaster. Colin Stetson’s score does its share of the atmospheric heavy lifting too, humming under every scene like it’s in on a secret it isn’t telling you yet.

Source: Netflix | Adam Scott in “The Whisper Man”

Where the film could stand to tighten up is in its pacing; a scene or two in the middle stretch linger like a guest who doesn’t know the party’s over. But the thinness of the father-son history between Pete and Tom, a line about drinking here, a passing nod to the “original sin of fathers” who can’t protect their sons there, works more in the film’s favour than against it. Not every wound needs a flashback and a monologue to explain itself, and leaving the specifics of that estrangement in the shadows gives us room to fill in the blanks ourselves rather than having the emotional groundwork spelt out like a courtroom exhibit.

Adam Scott, for his part, is now two-for-two this year playing grief-stricken bestselling authors whose quiet change of scene curdles into horror, and if that’s shaping into a subgenre, we’re not convinced it earned a second entry. He’s perfectly serviceable here, but the role never asks for much beyond anxious-dad energy, and Scott has sharper range sitting unused in the tank.

The mystery itself unspools exactly the way you’d expect a mystery like this to unspool, complete with a suspiciously well-cast red herring who collects murder memorabilia (subtle, guys) and a third act that leans harder into pulp than the slow-burn psychological dread the film spent two acts cultivating. Ashcroft directs with a steady hand throughout, but he fumbles the landing when the plot finally comes due, like a magician who nails every trick except the big reveal.

Source: Netflix

None of which stops “The Whisper Man” from being a genuinely engrossing way to burn two hours. It isn’t going to trouble “The Silence of the Lambs” for genre supremacy, and it lacks a performance as gloriously unhinged as Nicolas Cage’s in “Longlegs” to generate headlines of its own. Everyone here plays their part well enough, and sure, a touch more intensity somewhere in the mix would have elevated things further.

But this was never trying to be that movie, and what it lacks in ferocity it makes up for in craft, executed with the quiet confidence of veterans who’ve done this dance before and know exactly where the missteps are hiding.

A strong cast doing dependable work, atmosphere thick enough to chew on, and a plot with just enough teeth to actually hold your attention rather than politely ask for it. That used to be called a good rental. Now it’s called content that performs fine in the algorithm. Either way, we had a genuinely good time, and some nights that’s all you’re really asking of a movie.

“The Whisper Man” is currently whispering on Netflix.

The Review

"The Whisper Man"

3.5 Score

A serial-killer thriller that's seen this exact rodeo before and doesn't pretend otherwise, running on a script that plays every note you expect. What saves it from being pure background noise is Robert De Niro doing weary paternalism like he was born to it and Michael Keaton making the absolute most of limited screen time, proof that sometimes all a familiar tune needs is the right two people to sing it.

SHISEIDO unveils the new REVITALESSENCE Skin Matte Foundation, a breakthrough innovation that redefines modern matte skin. Powered by the advanced Serum First Technology, it delivers aluminous, skin-enhancing finish that merges next-generation matte performance with skincare benefits.

A New Era Of Matte

Under the concept “MATTE, REIMAGINED,” REVITALESSENCE Skin Matte Foundation introduces a skin-perfecting serum formula that reshapes expectations of matte makeup. The weightless, buildable medium-to-full coverage texture delivers a youthful, three-dimensional matte effect—never flat, never dry.

Upon application, the serum-like formula hydrates and visibly plumps the skin before setting into a breathable, luminous matte finish that remains fresh and comfortable throughout the day. With continued use, the foundation helps elevate skin quality while enhancing beauty over time.

Key Benefits

  • Triple 24-Hour Proof Performance: Powered by clinical testing for 24-hour wear, a lasting shine-free finish, and sustained hydration comfortable skin
  • Instant Makeup Perfection: In a consumer study, 97% reported more even-looking skin, 89% saw a visible blurring of pores, and 95% observed a naturally matte finish
  • Long-Term Skincare Benefits: Demonstrates visible improvements in pore appearance and helps improve excessive sebum secretion over time.
SOURCE: SHISEIDO

  • Smoothing Peptide – Improves the appearance of visible pores on bare skin
  • Allantoin – Helps reduce excess sebum on the skin surface

The Evolution Of Serum First Technology

Central to REVITALESSENCE Skin Matte Foundation is proprietary Serum First Technology — an advanced structural innovation that encases a matte gel core within a sebum-absorbing veil. Designed to regulate excess oil, it delivers lasting shine control while preserving a luminous matte finish.

This system enables a dual-phase skin experience:

  • Skincare ingredients are delivered evenly to hydrate and prepare the skin
  • Foundation components follow, creating smooth, seamless coverage
  • The matte gel forms a refined finish while maintaining comfort and flexibility
  • Light diffusion effect of foundation blurs imperfections and enhances skin uniformity
  • Internal luminosity is revealed through controlled surface reflection

This spirit is expressed through a sophisticated yet relaxed ensemble that reflects Donghae’s multifaceted style.

Under One Sky: CHAGEE Celebrates Merdeka With Malaysians Through The Tradition Of Craft, Gathering & Tea

Every Merdeka serves as a reminder that Malaysia’s strength lies in its diversity. Different communities, traditions, and flavours come together to create a rich, shared culture. This year, CHAGEE Malaysia celebrates this spirit of togetherness under the theme of “Kraf”, bringing Malaysians together under one sky over tea, community art, and the traditional art of kite-flying.

There is something inherently Malaysian about gathering over a cup of tea. Whether it is an easy conversation between old friends or a shared table at a busy outlet, tea has long served as a bridge between backgrounds. Merdeka is ultimately about coming together, united under one flag and nation. Through the Kraf campaign, CHAGEE aims to create moments where communities can pause, connect, and celebrate the shared heritage, whether it is through a cup of tea, a shared piece of community art, or flying kites together in the park.

Balanced Flavours Inspired by Kraf

SOURCE: CHAGEE MALAYSIA

At the heart of the celebration is Seri Embun, a limited-time Vanilla Oolong Milk Tea inspired by Kraf, Malaysia’s tradition of handcraft where distinct handmade elements are woven together to form one beautiful whole. The name Seri Embun combines the concepts of radiance and fresh morning dew, reflecting the gentle balance of the drink.

Balancing two contrasting flavour profiles, Seri Embun layers deep Wuyi Da Hong Pao tea with creamy Madagascar vanilla. With each sip, floral notes unfold into caramel warmth, delivering a smooth and clean finish where neither flavour overpowers the other. This balance reflects more than taste. It is seen in Malaysia every day, where people from different backgrounds come together over shared meals, easy conversation, and cups of tea.

“With Seri Embun, we wanted two distinct flavours to sit together in one cup in refined balance. Wuyi Da Hong Pao brings depth, while Madagascar vanilla brings warmth. Achieving that harmony in every sip is what we’re most proud of,” said Eason Fang, General Manager of CHAGEE Malaysia.

CHAGEE teas are crafted with everyone in mind, and Muslim customers can enjoy the new drink across Halal-certified outlets nationwide. Customers can check the halal status of any outlet through JAKIM’s official directory at halal.gov.my.

Bringing Communities Together Through Kraf and the Wau

SOURCE: CHAGEE MALAYSIA

The CHAGEE Malaysia Merdeka celebration extends beyond the cup into outdoor community spaces, centring around the wau, the traditional Malaysian kite that symbolises hope, freedom, and the joy of gathering. Its colours, patterns and handcrafted form reflect the essence of Kraf, where individual elements come together to create something beautiful.

As part of the festivities, CHAGEE Sip & Soar took place daily from 24th to 27th August 2026, between 3pm and 7:30pm at Kepong Metropolitan Park, Kuala Lumpur. CHAGEE hosted an open community kite gathering where members of the public may visit a Seri Embun tasting booth, participate in hands-on kite workshops, attempt the interactive Kite Wind Challenge, and contribute to a large-scale community art piece coloured by visitors throughout the event.

Additionally, under the Layang-Layang Challenge held at selected participating outlets until 30th August 2026, customers who purchase two cups of Seri Embun and share a flying-themed song by singing or humming with the CHAGEE team will receive a DIY CHAGEE layang-layang kit. Customers can then decorate or colour the kites, and post their creations on social media to stand a chance to win exclusive Merdeka merchandise (20 winners will each receive a full Vanilla Mini Soap set, a Diversi-tea Tumbler, and a unique CHAGEE kite).

Exclusive Merdeka Keepsakes

SOURCE: CHAGEE MALAYSIA

The Kraf theme also extends into a limited-edition Malaysia-exclusive merchandise collection. Customers will receive a Vanilla Mini Soap, available in one of two collectible colours, free with the purchase of two Large Seri Embun drinks in a single receipt from 14th August, while stocks last. Furthermore, all Seri Embun orders will be served in specially designed commemorative paper cups and thermal bags, created as keepsakes for Merdeka Day.

CHAGEE app members will also receive exclusive Merdeka perks throughout the celebration period from now until 31st August 2026. More details will be posted on CHAGEE Malaysia’s social channels Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

Pos Malaysia & APOM Celebrate Malaysia Day With ‘A  Tapestry of Malaysia’ Special Stamp Collection

Pos Malaysia Berhad (“Pos Malaysia”), the national post and parcel service provider, has partnered with Malaysian brand APOM to launch ‘A Tapestry of Malaysia’, a special Malaysia Day stamp collection featuring 14 designs inspired by Malaysia’s states and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. The collection celebrates the country’s stories, culture and shared sense of belonging through distinctive visuals that capture the identities, traditions and experiences that shape Malaysia.

Featuring cultural icons, landmarks, traditions and everyday moments, the collection offers a visual journey across the nation. Inspired by APOM’s #empatbelas initiative, the 14 original designs are transformed into stamps that celebrate Malaysian culture, heritage and identity while bringing different places and communities into one shared national canvas.

SOURCE: POS MALAYSIA & APOM

The collaboration also creates a symbolic link between Malaysia’s postal past and contemporary local creativity through APOM’s flagship store at the former Kuala Lumpur General Post Office. Once a hub that connected Malaysians through letters and postage, the heritage building adds a nostalgic layer to the collection and gives visitors a meaningful place to discover and purchase the stamps.

For Pos Malaysia, the collaboration shows how stamps can continue to connect people with the places, memories and stories that define Malaysia. It also reflects the company’s belief that every connection, whether through a letter, parcel, postcard or stamp, plays a part in keeping individuals, businesses and communities in tune with the pulse of the nation.

SOURCE: POS MALAYSIA & APOM

Charles Brewer, Group Chief Executive Officer of Pos Malaysia Berhad, said, “For more than 200 years, Pos Malaysia has been part of everyday life in Malaysia, connecting people, communities and businesses across the country. Stamps are a powerful part of that story. They may be small, but they carry the identity, memories and pride of a nation. ‘A Tapestry of Malaysia’ is a timely celebration of Malaysia Day, bringing APOM’s #empatbelas designs to life as stamps that reflect the unique character of Malaysia’s states and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur in a way that is fresh, meaningful and collectable. Together with APOM, we are proud to connect our postal heritage with local creativity, while continuing to keep Malaysia  moving by delivering connections that improve lives.”

“When we started #empatbelas, the idea was simple — to give Malaysian designers a platform to showcase what makes their states unique and express their state pride. Seeing the initiative now become part of Pos Malaysia’s annual Malaysia Day stamp issue is a milestone we’re extremely proud of. It’s incredibly meaningful to see these 14 designs given a place in an enduring part of our national story, and we’re proud to see the designers’ work celebrated in this way,” said Chantelle Teoh, Founder of APOM.

SOURCE: POS MALAYSIA & APOM

A Celebration of Malaysian Identity

At its heart, ‘A Tapestry of Malaysia’ celebrates Malaysia Day by honouring the people, culture and creative expressions that give each state and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur its own distinct identity. As Malaysians reflect on the bonds between Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, the collection presents the nation’s diversity through recognisable cultural, historical and visual elements from across the country.

Each design captures a theme unique to its state or territory, drawing on the places, traditions and cultural markers that shape local identity — from Johor’s heritage architecture, Kedah’s paddy fields, Kelantan’s Wayang Kulit, Melaka’s layered history and Negeri Sembilan’s Tarian  Lilin, to Pahang’s natural landscapes, Penang’s everyday harmony, Perak’s nostalgic icons,  Perlis’ Angin Timur, Sabah’s biodiversity, Sarawak’s cultural motifs, Selangor’s mosque architecture, Terengganu’s Wau Dodo Helang and Kuala Lumpur’s urban landmarks. Together, these designs reflect the richness of Malaysia’s many identities in a way that is distinctive, accessible and rooted in place.

Inspired by APOM’s #empatbelas Initiative

The collection draws inspiration from APOM’s #empatbelas initiative, which has championed  Malaysian designers and state pride through art and design over the past six years. The selected designers bring distinctive creative voices and personal perspectives, expressing local identity through original visuals. Through this collaboration, the initiative is reimagined as a special stamp collection to collect, preserve and share. Each designer worked within a common creative framework to develop iconic visuals that highlight the places, traditions, heritage and everyday moments that define their home state.

‘A Tapestry of Malaysia’ Special Stamp Collection

The collection is priced at RM35.20 and includes a sheetlet featuring all 14 special stamp designs, comprising 90 sen stamps, a First Day Cover with 14 stamps and special cancellation, an exclusive campaign postcard, an informational flyer and a folder. It will be available for pre-order via the Pos Malaysia online store from 1st September 2026, and available for sale at A Piece of Malaysia (APOM), Pejabat Pos Besar Lama on 16th September 2026. From 17th September 2026 onwards, the collection will be available at 90 Philatelic Bureaus nationwide, including 13 General Post Offices, selected post offices and the Pos Malaysia online store, while stocks last.

Exclusive APOM Merchandise Collection

In conjunction with the launch, APOM will release a special merchandise collection inspired by the 14 designs, including T-shirt (RM68), notebook (RM15 each or RM40 for a set of 3), postcard (RM8) and tote bag (RM40). The postcard collection also pays tribute to the former  Kuala Lumpur General Post Office and its legacy as a place where stories, memories and connections were shared through postage.

The merchandise collection, priced from RM8 to RM68, will be available at A Piece of Malaysia, Pejabat Pos Besar Lama and APOM outlets, including Bangsar Village 1, Central  Market, The Campus and Bank Negara Museum and Art Gallery starting 24th August 2026.

The launch also marks the opening of A Piece of Malaysia, APOM’s flagship store at the former Kuala Lumpur General Post Office, bringing Malaysian heritage, local artistry and the tradition of postage together in one space. The location also gives visitors a meaningful place to discover the stamp collection and related merchandise.
